GNU Guile 2.2.6 released


![]()
We are delighted to announce GNU Guile release 2.2.6, the sixth bug-fix
release in the 2.2 stable release series. See the NEWS excerpt that
follows for full details.
* * *
Guile is an implementation of the Scheme programming language.
The Guile web page is located at https://gnu.org/software/guile/, and
among other things, it contains a copy of the Guile manual and pointers
to more resources.
Guile can run interactively, as a script interpreter, and as a Scheme
compiler to VM bytecode. It is also packaged as a library so that
applications can easily incorporate a complete Scheme interpreter/VM.
An application can use Guile as an extension language, a clean and
powerful configuration language, or as multi-purpose "glue" to connect
primitives provided by the application. It is easy to call Scheme code
from C code and vice versa. Applications can add new functions, data
types, control structures, and even syntax to Guile, to create a
domain-specific language tailored to the task at hand.
Guile implements many common Scheme standards, including R5RS, R6RS, and
a number of SRFIs. In addition, Guile includes its own module system,
full access to POSIX system calls, networking support, multiple threads,
dynamic linking, a foreign function call interface, and powerful string
processing.
Guile 2.2.6 can be installed in parallel with Guile 2.0.x; see
https://www.gnu.org/software/guile/manual/html_node/Parallel-Installations.html.
